[QUOTE="pannivas, post: 75120, member: 23174"] after a lot of changes on what codecs i use for the files i need to decode here is what suits me the best. 1) Mpeg2 (DVDs, mpeg2 files, HD files encoded in Mpeg2) i use NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder. Very good especialy with Nvida 6x and 7x series it allows for hardware accelaration which frees up a lot of CPU cycles. Also the PQ and the colors are great. Not free though. 2) MPEG4 (Xvid and divx ripped files) i use ffdshow with a couple of filters enabled for better PQ. FFDSHOW is a software decoder and in order to use filters you will need a good CPU to keep up with the filters enabled. Also there are so many builds of ffdshow out there so you got get a good build. I personaly use this version FFdshow-20060803-rev2546.exe as it works great with the filters that i use. 3) H.264 encoded files (mkv, mp4, ogg i think as well are h264) i use CoreAVC which again its not free but it does a very good job. And Haali Media Splitter which is free. using ffdshow to decode mkv and mp4 files caused me a lot of problems. 4) AC3filter for ac3 sound decode. Also i will agree to what Paranoid said. A codec that works for me might not nesseraly work for you or for someone else. [/QUOTE]
